So my chest and throat pains are still here and I had my surgery 9/14! When I eat and drink. So now I'm at a point where I have to eat and drink because one Im hungry and thirsty and of coarse I need to be getting things in. The only solid food I've tried is eggs scrambled as my doctor said I could. But even chewing super slow and sipping tiny bits I still have pain. Seen the doctor today he said give it another week and see if it's still happening. Now I'm so used to the pain I'm not sure if it's ok because I deal with it all day and while I'm eating. anyone else experienced this before?? Help!

Hey! It's still early so it's normal to have some pain and discomfort. It's a bit early to eat eggs by itself, my Dr recommended egg drop soup...but if you are going to eat eggs chew them very well about 20 to 25 times, and wait about 30min before you drink anything. That's what I was told I know every Dr give different instructions.
Also walking helps alot maybe 30min a day or as much as you can. I hope you feel better soon [emoji4]

I had pains in my throat and stomach up until this past weekend, I am 4 weeks post op today! It hurt to sip Water or anything. It does get better, I'm still having a hard time with eggs though, unless they're fried. I used to love scrambeled eggs and now I cannot tolerate them. Not sure why but it is all trial and error at this point, I guess. My weight loss has come to a hault too, not sure how normal this is.

Not even one week ago. For you there it would be 14/09/2017. Maybe I should wait it out to see what happens but it's very painful [emoji37]

Maybe stick to full liquids and don't try soft foods yet? I don't know, just a thought. It sounds like just swallowing is causing you pain, so I don't know if that will help. If it were me, I would probably just do liquids for now.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
